Rangi was panting out of breath as he was no longer somehow using a similar yet different ability than Arcux when it came to being covered in soul metal. He was using the superior version just barely though. Even though he was managing to do it at a mere novice level the difference between versions was enough to cover some of the experience gap that Arcux had over Rangi with his version of it.
The fight continued relentlessly between them devolving from what it once was into a mere fist fight between the two of them. The clanging of their fist as soul metal fists bang against each other bodies causes a constant clanging sound to be heard from them both. From one massive strike to the other face, they were both pushed away and just standing there panting as they were no longer able to maintain the soul metal forms the two of them had.
